Franklin Resources (BEN) recently launched a Crypto Index ETF, alongside highlighting a new dividend payment schedule, drawing attention to their strong stance in the financial market. A profound presence in the stock market, BEN has been rated as having a low PE High Dividend, making it a recommendation for investment. Despite a rough patch involving securities investigation and a slight adjustment of the price target by Deutsche Bank, there is overall bullish sentiment from Wall Street analysts. The company had to navigate through challenges in Q4 2024; however, it reported strong financial recovery in Q1 2025 even though it missed estimates. Despite facing significant outflows, the company was able to keep its AUM stable and showed strong core business performance. With the initiation of equal-weight recommendations by Wells Fargo and BofA Securities raising its price target, Franklin Resources' bearish season seems to be lessening. However, investors are still warned to investigate as legal actions are underway against securities fraud. There's a strong belief in the market that Franklin Resources offers deep value in terms of its yield and its ability to outperform many stocks in the Nasdaq. On the flip side, a few analyst houses have given Franklin Resources a lower rank, with concerns about financial management, and recent rumors about potential security law violations.
